The situation, as confirmed by @opentype, seems also to apply to the default theme owing to a tiny gap between the menu and its items, meaning that there's a short moment when the hover is broken as you move from clicking the parent to selecting a child.
I've drawn up a little CSS fix on my site, which seems to be working.
Bah, there's a complicating factor which I hadn't thought of. This works fine with dropdowns in the primary nav bar. Unfortunately, it imposes the same conditions on dropdowns in the secondary dropdown too. Where I force 36px for primary (which is the calculated top position minus 2), I need a different value for dropdowns in the secondary bar (where calculated minus 2 is some very different value).
Unfortunately, I can't see a CSS solution. The system seems to create these dropdowns on clicking and they appear in the same place in the DOM with the top value calculated and added as a style element. There doesn't seem to be any way of selecting a <ul> dropdown list which appears on click based on whether it's parent is a primary or secondary item.
Has anybody checked whether this has been fixed on 4.4?

Consider changing the values. Those ones work for my site; yours might require something different.

/* Move the menu list closer to the parent to close the gap between them. The top value is calculated inline and each menu item has its own unique ID, so we need to use the !important tag to overwrite the inline styling and a CSS selector which targets all IDs starting with the bit leading up to the menu item's unique ID */ ul[id^="elNavigation_"] { top: 36px !important; } /* As a result of the above, the small triangle now overlaps the label on the menu item. It needs to be made smaller */ .ipsMenu:not( .ipsMenu_noStem ):before,.ipsMenu:not( .ipsMenu_noStem ):after { border-width: 10px; } /* Because the triangle is smaller, it's no longer showing in the centre. Need to adjust margin-left to compensate. It will equal the new border-width in the :after selector and (new border-width - 1px) in the :before (because the :before creates a shadow effect by being offset slightly) */ .ipsMenu.ipsMenu_bottomCenter:before { margin-left: -9px; } .ipsMenu.ipsMenu_bottomCenter:after { margin-left: -10px; }

I've just installed a clean default theme on another of my sites and although it's a bit better, it's still not perfect. The site in this clip is in production ready for launch at the weekend. Got to keep it offline because the address is known but the people who will be moderating it are only now getting their first looks. I'll send you a PM with credentials to log in as me 🙂

Ah, I see. It's not just me then!
Glad to see that IPS is aware of it. It's not happening on this site, so let's hope that it's fixed in 4.4.
-
^^ Thank you. One of my sites definitely has some styling in the header. I don't think that I've done anything to the fresh installation but I shall definitely have a look.

I noticed on one of my sites (and so did my users, unfortunately) that the dropdown menus seemed very sensitive. Unless you're very quick, they disappear after clicking before you can get to your item.
I wasn't sure what to do about it and thought it was just a feature. This was backed up when the same thing happened with a new site. Sometimes it seems very bad (I've just had a complaint), other times they disappear but only if I deliberately hover away from the dropdown.
However, I've just noticed that on IPS's own site, if you click, the menu permanently opens. You can click it, go to a new tab, and it's still there when you return, only disappearing once you click elsewhere on screen.
That seems to me exactly how it's supposed to work, and so I'm confused why it's not working on my sites.
Is it just me?
If it isn't just me and this is working as standard, what have IPS done to theirs so that the list is visible until there's another click?
-
Yeah, this is a silly complaint. If you have a pre-existing logo, do you really want IPS telling you that you can't use it because it doesn't fit some arbitrary dimensions? Design an appropriate logo and use it. Easy.
And I don't see why there's any justification for complaining that they haven't told you what the favicon dimensions are. If you have a favicon (a .ico file), then it's already in appropriate dimensions.

Hello!
The purchase page indicates that you're working on extending this to Pages. That's potentially great news for me because I'm looking at preventing overly lengthy comments to articles built using Pages. How near do you think you might be to providing a Pages-ready version?
-
-
OK, understood.
I don't think you've copied your Copy Events plugin into this one, have you?
(I'm sure we've had this conversation before but it looks like the replies have been removed.)
Are you planning to fold it into Enhancements?
I see it speaks about moderators with permission to move content having copy permission. How about adjusting so that members can copy their own content too? Is that possible?
-
Feature request for this please, Adriano.
(I had approached Fosters about adapting his Page Authors plugin for Calendar. He was going to do it but has just confirmed that he's currently too busy and would be happy for someone else to implement it.)
My wish is to optionally allow certain users to create and edit their events on particular calendars even if their membership group can't. The alternative is having to create additional secondary membership groups. That would be a nightmare after a while.
User case: I have a couple of friends who run events in London. I would like them to be able to add these events to their own calendar but I don't want to create a membership group just for them. Imagine if I had ten cases like this!
What I'd prefer to do is create a new calendar and then have the option of adding users to it, so that they can use the calendar even if their membership group doesn't have permission to.
Does this seem like something you'd be happy to introduce into this resource?
-
You could edit the content easily, yep:

This is your translation for an Article. You need to go Customization > Languages:
No, that won't work in his example. The things he's got called Articles are entries within Pages databases and the strings.
@Pedro Ibáñez You need to go to your Pages databases and edit them. You'll see a tab (Language) where you can set what the entries are called. You must have two databases in which you've set them to:
- article
- articles
- Article
- Articles
- an article
The relevant word for each database entry appears in that filter menu. If you change one to "record", "entry", "news article" or whatever, you'll see the change.

Funny enough in my original message to IPS support I mentioned about how along with the player not "working", if the user clicked on the .mp3 link it blocked it. They just kept saying to speak to you
Oh, the triggering of "can't help you" if there's any thing which makes them think of customisation is very frustrating at times. I've fallen foul of reporting unexpected behaviour (ie custom.css not loading @import fonts) and been moved on because it's viewed as a customisation issue rather than functionality not working.

Thank you, much easier than deleting one by one
Yep! And as best I can tell, that cog is a fairly recent edition. I've many bad memories of messing up a template set and wanting to start again, deleting one template, navigating to the next, rinse and repeat. Way easier this way ?
-
-
I don't think that's a SuperGrid problem, Steve. I've periodically had the same problem with several template sets where even reverting to the original template won't save. The only thing you can do is punch the monitor (doesn't solve the problem, unfortunately) or try it again during a later session.

Give the links on this page a read to get your head around the terminology:
https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/suite-applications/pages/core-concepts/
Then after that have a go at building a very simply database using this guide:

Have you checked permissions to make sure that guests can see these articles? I get an error when I try your first link and in the second can see the page and an array of blocks but no article.
It might help if you post a screenshot of what you see so that we can compare. If there's something appearing on your screen but not on ours, that would indicate a permissions issue.
-
You don't appear to have written any articles for the SuperGrid template to display. At least, I can't see any on the pages you've linked to.
Do your dropdowns disappear after clicking?

Just tried it in Firefox and I have it there too, although it doesn't appear to be so bad. It's present in the default theme too. Apparently IPS is aware of it although I don't know whether it's fixed in 4.4.
